Ever wondered how scientists can visualise proteins at near-atomic resolution?
Join us for an exclusive Cryo-Electron Microscopy (Cryo-EM) lab visit with interactive workshops led by researchers at Birkbeck, University of London. You’ll get the chance to explore how Cryo-EM is used in cutting-edge structural biology research, learn directly from researchers working in the field, and ask questions about both the science and research careers.
✨ What to expect:
- Guided Cryo-EM lab tour (see £4 million worth of microscopy equipment)
- Interactive, hands-on workshops with image processing software, online databases, and web-lab equipment led by researchers
- Insights into real research applications
- Opportunity to chat with researchers
This is a great opportunity for anyone interested in structural biology, biophysics, molecular biology, or research careers — open to all year levels, and no prior Cryo-EM knowledge required!
📍 Location: Birkbeck, University of London
📅 Date & time: 14:00–16:00
Tickets: Free to paid (Standard) GenSoc members
Spots are limited to 14 attendees — keep an eye out for sign-ups! 👀
Please note that by signing up you confirm that you will be available during the two-hour slot. if any last-minute changes occur and you cannot make it anymore, please email [email protected] ASAP so your spot can be allocated to someone else.
If the ticket appears to be sold out, keep an eye on the Genetics Society WhatsApp group chat as last-minute ticket availability will be announced in the group chat (rather than emailing people who register interest for out-of-stock tickets on the website).
Please arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of the tour at Birkbeck reception, and wait for a GenSoc committee member to take attendance!
